This week I learned....
-That the male anatomy is more complex than I thought!
Seriously, there is a lot of gizmos and gadgets going on down there.
-I really need to invest in a food processor. I have been researching healthy food options, I found out that you can make banana ice cream with just one banana in a food processor.
I am going to bug my hubby until he says yes !
-I have never been so afraid of catching HCV as I was this week. We had a patient come into clinic to be seen for sleep apnea. She had all these bumps, hives and open sores covering her legs. She kept scratching and picking at the open sores. When I offered her a band aide she stated that she was fine, and then proceeded to tell me that she forgot to tell doctor about her HCV . Needless to say we all washed our hands and sanitized the mess out of that exam room. We also had to use a large amount of air fresher because of the terrible cat urine smell she left behind. Yuck!
-I am taking my ACT tomorrow (Wish me luck!) and I am nowhere near prepared for it. Hoping to get ad least a 20!
-I am applying to nursing school this month and it is really starting to hit me that I am going to be training to become an RN. I wonder if I am really ready for this.
What have you learned this week?

This week, I learned how adjustable I can be when situations go haywire.
- We had rain all weekend in my area in Upstate NY, and the nursing home I work at has two buildings next to each other. I work at the first building. The other one had roof leakage and extensive water coming through. So, on Saturday night/early Sunday morning hours, we are notified that we may be getting almost half the building of residents. Our owner came in to inspect the damage next door and get things settled. He was telling us to call all of our staff, and to clear the dining room, and doing all this running around just to receive 5 residents. Luckily, we had the spare rooms for the 5 residents. Even though it was a hectic moment, I adjust quickly and just did my duties like any other night.
